Odyssey Releases 2019 School Climate Report

Odyssey Youth Movement’s annual youth climate survey is conducted every Spring with the intention of gathering information about the experiences of LGBTQ+ youth from throughout the Inland Northwest.

This report is an important look at the lives of LGBTQ+ students from throughout the Spokane and Inland Northwest region. Information includes demographics about respondents, questions about their experiences in school, as well as recommendations on how teachers, school staff, and service providers can use this information to promote equity for LGBTQ+ students in their work.

The survey is entirely opt-in with participants given the option to leave any question blank that they choose not to answer. Odyssey recognizes the need for confidentiality when gathering this data and only allows designated staff and volunteers to handle the completed surveys. No survey participant was asked to include their name in responses.
